Although it is desperately wicked and sad that young boys whose dream it was to play football should be so abused by those employed and trusted to coach them, it was so brave of them to discuss in public just how they had been affected and to show their emotions.

Three abusers, at least have been prevented from carrying out any more and others who have been abused have been shown that it is right to tell and not keep the secret.

Such a positive step and thank them and commend their tremendous bravery.

Castration of wrong-doers rarely gets publicity these days.

Probably because it doesn't happen, Dermot. Well, not legally, anyway.

Britain only does that to those who have won the war for them (Alan Turing).
